For good reasons he declined the offer, but the following year accepted the posi: tion of general superintendent for Wells, Fargo & Co., with headquarters in New York. The business of the company being chiefiy on the Pacific Coast, the head- guarters were soon after transferred to San Francisco, where they have sirice re- mained, and where and in Oakland Mr. Valentine resided from his return from New York in 1870 until his death.

In 1882 Mr, Valentihe was elected a di- fector of the company and also vice pres- ident, at the same time continuing the general superintendency.

He talked witn great earnesiness and was thoroughly conversant with all matters pertaining to m in the Unlted States.

McEnerney spent eight days in Rome and says that besides its historical at- traction it is one of the most modern and up-to-date citles that he visited. The wealthy men of Rome live in modern residences that are furnished with the latest improvements. In Ireland McEner- ney spent considerable time and for sev eral days was a guest of Rev.
